AFTER A week as topic No. 1 in American politics, former Carmel Mayor Clint Eastwood said the outpouring of criticism from left-wing reporters and liberal politicians after his appearance at the Republican National Convention last Thursday night, followed by an avalanche of support on Twitter and in the blogosphere, is all the proof anybody needs that his 12-minute discourse achieved exactly what he intended it to.
“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people,” Eastwood told The Pine Cone this week. “Romney and Ryan would do a much better job running the country, and that’s what everybody needs to know. I may have irritated a lot of the lefties, but I was aiming for people in the middle.”
Breaking his silence
For five days after he thrilled or horrified the nation by talking to an empty chair representing Obama on the night Mitt Romney accepted the Republican nomination for president, Eastwood remained silent while pundits and critics debated whether his remarks, and the rambling way he made them, had helped or hurt Romney’s chances of winning in November.
But in a wide-ranging interview with The Pine Cone Tuesday from his home in Pebble Beach, he said he had conveyed the messages he wanted to convey, and that the spontaneous nature of his presentation was intentional, too.
“I had three points I wanted to make,” Eastwood said. “That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left, that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office, and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who’s not doing a good job. But I didn’t make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.”

“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”
Makes a great tagline.
We have Dirty Harry, they have Desperate Housewives.
Makes a great tagline.
Especially when it’s all there.
Interesting that the lib media is trying to paint Clint as a senile old man...when he has a NEW MOVIE coming out soon.
LOL.
It tells the process he went through to create his routine. The confidence he had to go up on stage with three basic ideas to get across and then do it all off the cuff. He is a true master of his craft.
The idea of using the chair came literally just before he went on stage when a stage hand offered him a chair to sit in at the podium. Clint got the idea right there and said no just put it to the side of the podium. He then developed the whole routine while on stage.
It was real. It was spontaneous. It was masterful and based on a lifetime of performing and living.
A delightful article.
Love it! Gonna use it!
I usually don’t go to the movies much, too much violence and bad language, except my Disney movies . . . BUT I will go see Clint’s new movie. I think I saw where it comes out September 22.
“President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”

Thank you Clint...Well done!
Thanks.
Obama a “front man” for the largest theft ever witnessed.
I wonder if Mittens will ask for it back or just take it back without asking. With a little forensic accounting we will know where it went and we the people should reclaim our money.
